Cooling heads

Wendelstein 7-X fusion reactor

The future of energy generation

Rosswag Engineering manufactured water-cooled cooling heads for thermal monitoring of the divertors in the Wendelstein 7-X fusion reactor. Thanks to the complete in-house process chain, the components meet the highest requirements in terms of resilience, corrosion resistance and precision.

Fulfillment of the highest technical requirements

The water-cooled cooling heads had to withstand extreme conditions, including high thermal loads, corrosion resistance and specific magnetic properties. In addition, the plasma-exposed location with its complex installation situation was a particular challenge that was successfully mastered thanks to the precision and expertise in production.

"In this project, we were able to make perfect use of the advantages of our in-house process chain. After additive manufacturing, the parts had to be machined and technically cleaned. Everything under one roof at Rosswag"
